Nichols, who shared NITO’s positions that the secondary market harms fans and artists and the need for reform, called the meeting “productive.”
“I am working with people on both sides who agree the fan needs to be protected,” said Nichols. “We may not agree on a lot, but I’m thankful I could sit at a table with people that many consider enemies and watch them respectfully work with each other for the common good.”
